I used to be a regimental clerk a few years back and I covered the job of resettlement clerk. As far as I recall, the money was exactly the same (£534) about 10 years ago. It was certainly the same 6 yrs ago when I signed off (wimped out at last minute and stayed).

I'm no management accountant but even I can see that this has clearly devalued significantly in real terms.

Anyone in a position to research the facts behind this - i.e. how long it's been capped at £534 and therefore how much it has devalued. ???

Since such a large proportion of Britain's homeless people are ex-forces, I wonder if the increasingly devalued resettlement packages have contributed to the situation.
